Teachers, for those of you counting down to Digital Learning Day (6 days and counting down…), here are some lessons, complete with plans, that have been developed for the DLD Team. I received them as part of an organizational email, and thought you might be interested. The links are active, but will probably take you to a registration page. The registration is free, and the lessons may be created by some of the Alliance for Excellent Education sponsors, along with some interesting advertisements from sponsors, such as Intel. However, the materials and ideas included are interesting and useful, and offered with lesson plans(!). For many of educators, paging down through some ads is worth the materials that are offered.

Enjoy!
